Join Hyperallergic, a premier online publication dedicated to offering contemporary insights on art, culture, and beyond. Established in 2009, we serve as a platform for diverse and thought-provoking perspectives on the role of art in society, attracting over one million engaged readers monthly.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Associate Editor to enhance our Brooklyn team. The ideal candidate will possess 3-5 years of newsroom experience and a proven history of delivering compelling stories within the visual culture domain.

In the role of Associate Editor, you will play a crucial part in both editing and crafting daily news articles, ranging from breaking news to in-depth explainers related to current events.

The successful candidate will have well-established connections within the art community and a comprehensive understanding of the industry. Familiarity with visual artists, museums, the art market, digital culture, and the interplay of art and politics is essential.

We seek a quick-thinking, adaptable journalist capable of seamlessly adjusting to the fast-paced news environment, producing 3-5 stories daily through a combination of editing and writing. Typical weekly activities include strategizing daily coverage, assigning and refining submitted stories, and authoring news reports as required.

Additionally, you will contribute innovative ideas, actively pursue stories, and assist in nurturing Hyperallergic’s expanding network of sources and contributors.

We prefer candidates who are passionate readers of Hyperallergic and are already acquainted with our News desk. Our newsroom covers a vast array of topics, including activism, protest art, labor movements, museum controversies, art fairs, auctions, memes, and archaeological findings, among others. We are searching for an editor who is equally excited about and comfortable navigating these diverse areas of coverage.

The Associate Editor will lead a team of staff writers and freelancers while collaborating closely with the Senior Editor and Editor-in-Chief.

This is a full-time position with benefits, requiring attendance at our Brooklyn office four days a week, with the flexibility to work remotely on Fridays.
